Mad About Michelle-The Nation

I read an article by Katha Pollitt talking about controversy over our first lady, Michelle Obama. The author thinks that the reason there is so much obsession with her being different is that some of us are threatened by her. She has beauty and poise. She works at homeless shelters and feeds the hungry and she is also six feet tall.Then the author slams this piece in an article written by David Samuels:
"There are clear limits to Michelle's ambition. She went to excellent schools, got decent grades, stayed away from too much intellectual heavy lifting, and held a series of practical, modestly salaried jobs while accommodating her husband's wilder dreams and raising two lovely daughters. In this, she is a more practical role model for young women than Hillary Clinton, blending her calculations about family and career with an expectation of normal personal happiness."
Pollitt concludes that Michelle Obama made almost 300,000 last year as as head of community affairs for the University of Chicago Hospitals. That is almost twice as much as President Obama as an senator. I think everyone needs to accept Mrs. Obama. Yes, shes different than what we have seen before but this is the twenty-first century. First Ladies can show a little arm or leg and wear Versace and it shouldn't be a big deal. You would think people would be more worried about the economic situation than what she is wearing.
